Treating Animals with Integrity
We are committed to farm animal welfare and support suppliers with high industry standards for humane farming. Examples of our support of the animal well-being of farm animals in our supply chain include eggs: currently approximately 15% of our egg purchases are cage-free and we continue to evaluate increasing our cage-free egg supply. We are also committed to broiler chicken welfare, humanely raised pork, and we offer our Guests plant-based protein alternatives on our menu.
Cage-Free Eggs
Red Robin is making meaningful progress toward our commitment to source 100% cage-free eggs across all locations. As of June 2022, our U.S. egg supply chain is approximately 15% cage-free.
Broiler Chicken Welfare
Red Robin is committed to working with our suppliers and others in the food industry to, by 2024, align with broiler chicken welfare standards established by the Global Animal Partnership (GAP). These GAP standards include a transition to breeds that have improved welfare outcomes, reduction in maximum stocking density to provide more space for birds per GAP standards, improvements in growing environment for birds – including litter, lighting and enrichment – and processing that uses a humane, multi-step controlled-atmosphere system.
No Added Hormones or Steroids
Our poultry is free of any added hormones and steroids, 100% sourced from family-owned farms that do not use antibiotics to promote animal growth. In addition our turkey supplier is American Humane Association certified, and our chicken wings and sliced turkey are produced using humane controlled atmosphere processing methods.
Dairy Products
Our suppliers of cheese and other dairy products are participants in the National Milk Producers Federation FARM (Farmers Assuring Responsible Management) program, which holds members to "the highest standard of animal care, and environmental and antibiotic stewardship." We encourage suppliers in our dairy supply chain to support industry efforts that promote the humane care and handling of cattle, including continued exploration of responsible polled breeding practices.
Third-Party Animal Welfare Audits
Third-Party Animal Welfare Audits - We require all of our suppliers to participate in third-party audits to ensure the humane treatment of all animals in Red Robin's supply chain, as well as compliance with our animal welfare standards. We follow up on any reports of farm animal mistreatment and take actions consistent with our animal welfare policy. Any supplier who fails to comply with our animal welfare standards is subject to removal from our supply chain.
With a Relentless Focus on Improvement (also among our core B.U.R.G.E.R. Values), we are always striving to be better. We continue to support supplier and food industry initiatives that promote the humane treatment of farm animals and expand the availability of humanely raised food for our guests.
